No Water Level Graphs Available for Kalamalka Source

But the Duteau Creek system's graphs--despite no longer being posted in the newspaper, as has been customary--are available on the RDNO site.

Click on the link to the Duteau water level graph, recorded July 15, 2015.

The RDNO link to water restrictions is found at this link.

Interestingly, several photos were submitted by a reader who visited the Aberdeen plateau water system just four days before the date of that graph...on July 11, 2015.

(submitted photos from July 11, 2015 visit to the Aberdeen Plateau)

Comments from the photo submitter were:  "I went up to visit the lakes up there 10 days ago, and all three appeared quite full. I have been up to those three lakes dozens of times over the years and they look just as full as any other year. I was there Jul 11, and according to the Jul 1 graph, the lakes had already dropped 2500 ML. Now the latest graph on Jul 15 shows another huge decrease and puts us close to stage 2.
Not sure I believe the propaganda."

And then a few days ago, the second massive rainstorm (in two weeks) arrived at 3:00 a.m., not ceasing until around noon, with the Aberdeen Plateau receiving more weather--as is typical--than the Coldstream Valley (where Highlands received a full inch of rain...yippeeeeee!).

"Bet GVW's truck would get stuck up there this week," offers Kia, "following the two rainstorms since the graph was produced."
 

The blathering from government at all levels continues to increase...the Okanagan Basin Water Board, and now, Victoria--the seat of our provincial government--is clamoring for citizens all over the province to reduce water usage by 30 per cent.

We'll volunteer to reduce doing laundry by 30 per cent...
